A new tow truck licensing system will be in effect July 1, 2015. The changes to the Tow Truck Licensing By-law 521-04 will improve safety by helping ensure tow trucks meet Ministry of Transportation requirements and City bylaws.
Under the new system, two types of licensed trucks can operate in Mississauga:
1. General Towing For Hire – Existing
Accident/Emergency related towing. General towing for hire trucks must be employed by a licensed brokerage in Mississauga with a licensed vehicle pound facility in Mississauga.
2. Contract Towing Not For Hire – New
Other types of towing such as scrap vehicle businesses or private non-accident.
No new plates will be issued as per the by-law. To prepare for the new system all current plates will be replaced with the appropriate licence type By July 1, 2015.
